Fast and Female Geneva — FFGVA — is an association but above all a community of passionate women. Our mission: break the codes of a sport still too male-dominated and make cycling accessible to women in Geneva, regardless of their age or experience.
FFGVA is a member of the #fastandfemaleSUI programme, a Swiss Cycling initiative dedicated to women’s cycling. By joining this network, we are part of an ecosystem of women’s cycling groups and associations across Switzerland.
Who is it for?
FFGVA welcomes all women, without exception:
- Beginners / Rookies — Those discovering cycling or getting back into it gently, in a reassuring setting to build confidence.
- Regular riders — Those who already ride and want to improve, feeling more comfortable in the peloton.
- Experienced riders — Those with a solid practice who enjoy riding longer or more intensively while sharing their experience.
- Fun first — Those who ride for the fun of it, at their own pace and in a friendly atmosphere.
No need to be a pro, no need to have the latest bike. All you need is the desire to ride.
Our rides are free and open to everyone, even without membership. For workshops and special events, members enjoy preferential rates — and some are even free.
Our rides and activities are currently reserved for women, in line with our mission to create a space where everyone can progress with confidence. In accordance with the guidelines of Swiss Olympic and the OFSPO on gender balance in sport, we plan to eventually organise mixed rides led by women and to include men on our committee.
